The Mossback Cafe Cookbook: the Best Little Fictional Cafe in Texas
$0.00The best little fictional cafe in Texas now has a cookbook! The Mossback Cafe is a prominent setting in all of Thomas Fenske’s Traces of Treasure series. It first appeared in the pages of THE FEVER, when fictional cafe owner Smidgeon Toll proudly delivered a serving of Huevos Rancheros Especial to Sam, the book’s hero. The description of the dish’s spicy goodness spurred numerous readers to ask the author, “Is that a real dish?”
Now you can find out for yourself — this recipe joins several others mentioned in the novels as Smidgeon steps out of the fictional pages to share them with you.You will love her quirky, homespun wisdom and down-to-earth country cafe cooking as she gives insight into what has made The Mossback a unique and delightful locale in the world of fictional eateries.
Smidgeon introduces readers to her excellent biscuits and the cafe’s locally famous chili. She also provides details about their fork-tender barbecue. Other favorites include “That BLT” (with its full-sized heap of bacon), the “Double Trouble Dog” (refried beans and guacamole on a hot dog?), and everybody’s favorite, the “Best-Danged Buttermilk Pie” you’ve ever tasted.
As a bonus, she shares her famous potato salad secret, and she might even include a trade secret or two!
